  • We are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses. One of those witnesses wanted me to sing something so here you go. This is especially for you Linda! I love you all! Mark. 🙂

    Mark
    That is what we all need: A closer walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. Great singing and guitar playing. I started playing guitar when I was 13 and have always loved it. I bought a Martin D-18 when I got out of college. Unfortunately, I wasn’t saved until I was 28. After I was saved I played and sang for Jesus. Keep up the music telling others about the love of Christ.

I closed my eyes and could whisper every word and I remembered it like it was just yesterday. I’m sick right now and don’t have a voice to sing but I was whispering the words right along with you. What a blessing it has been to have you come up on my UA-cam a long time ago. I really do love your singing and videos.

    Love this song~~thank you🙏💕. If anyone would listen to me, I’d sing songs like this to everyone (sadly nobody wants to hear me sing 😂). Funny how God gave me such an immense love for music & He uses a certain 2 artists, Dolly & Reba, I love them both but when they sing, it’s not them I’m hearing, if that makes any sense, I’m hearing the Holy Spirit and I’m so thankful that they allow God to use them. If you knew how much music means to me and how it touches my heart, it’s beyond amazing. Don’t know why He didn’t give me a good voice~~~venture to say He was saving me by not giving me that gift~~there’s no chance of my being tempted by money or fame. I pray in Heaven that He’ll allow me to have a beautiful voice so I can share it with others 🙏💕

    Old hymns are the best !!
